Load status

Load Status shows the detailed information on the currently selected load file. This section also shows the status when a load definition is run.

Option Description
Load Status tab Shows the status information for a load in progress or summary status for a completed load. The load process has three phases; upload, validate, and transfer. The percentage shown here is by phase. The three phases run consecutively so you may notice the status bar go to 100% and then start over.
Error Report tab Shows a list of the errors from the last run of the load definition. Detailed information is included for each problem encountered. This information is available during the current session; it is not saved when you close the application. Errors include:
  • Loadable member errors only
  • All errors
  • All rows
Archived Settings tab Shows details about the load definition. For example, transformations and mappings.
Archived File tab Shows a complete copy of the source data. This copy is stored in the database.
Cancel Cancels the load in progress.

Best practice

All load definition and status information used by OpenLink is stored in the database. As part of your disaster recovery plan (DRP), you should ensure to back up the database on a regular basis. In addition, you should have a plan and process in place to save the source files.
